career plans for the career clusters of Personal & Commercial

NOTES:
- An elective (Career
Acacemic Sequence) and directed elective course for Core 40, Core 40 with
Academic Honors, and Core 40 with Technical Honors Diplomas
- Counts toward the 8-10
Career-Technical credits required for Core 40 with Technical Honors
Diplomas
- Counts toward Career
Academic Sequence and Flex Credit requirements for the General Diploma
- This
is a two-semester career preparation course that
must be offered for either two or three credits each semester. This may be either a
one-year, two-year, or three-year course, depending on local needs and
resources.
- While each of the
topics listed in the course description should be addressed, emphasis
placed on each topic may vary according to local needs and
resources. A two-year course goes into more depth with selected
topics and provides more opportunities for authentic applications of
content standards and competencies.
- If an articulation or
dual-credit agreement is in effect, the
student may receive credit from a post-secondary institution.
Occupational FACSE programs must be
approved separately
to qualify for state vocational funding.
ACADEMIC CONTENT STANDARDS AND COMPETENCIES
The
following are measurable exit standards that define what students
should know and be able to do at the end of the course. The academic
content standards and competencies do not define a specific sequence
for teaching and learning. While all content standards and competencies
should be addressed in some way, teaching order and areas of emphasis
will vary according to local needs. This checklist format facilitates
use by teachers and/or students for planning and reflecting on
achievement
of competencies.
Academic standards will be
developed by local programs on an as-needed basis.
